Bunny Milk Gallon Project


Here's a fun project! We made bunnies from empty milk gallon containers. First cut the top off, but leave the handle intact. Children created their bunnies with construction paper. You could also add a popsicle stick to the back of the bunnies ears to reinforce them to stay up. No, picture of the back, but children added a tail with some cotton balls. They also look really cute if you cover the whole container with cotton balls, if your kids have the patience! ;)





Letter Gg, Green Grass


Here's a project we did for the letter G. Green Grass. We glued on the grass and then I had some easter foam stickers, the children also used.

St. Patricks Day Game


Fill a green hat with shamrock shapes. On each shamrock shape write something for the child to do or answer. IE: What's your fav. color?, Say the ABC's, Find something green, Count to 10, etc... Child picks a shamrock from the hat and does what the shamrock says.

Saint Patricks Day Crafts




Cut out a clover or shamrock design, children glue on different colors of green paper. Then we painted over with gold glitter paint.





We are so lucky display--Crayon resist. Children draw what they are lucky for with crayons, then painted over their drawings with watercolors.





Here's one of my favorites, Loopy Leprachaun! Cut out a semicircle( half circle), for the face, then a green hat, orange strips for the beard about 10 inches. Curl the ends with a pencil or crayon.

Here's some other cute ideas from Ramblings of a Crazy Woman blog. My class made the Shamrock hanger, and I decorated the door way like a rainbow. The sparkly rainbow is great too!
